Subject: Information Sources - Books

This article offers a large list of books about investing and personal
finance, divided into four sections: books for beginners, books for
experienced investors, books for professional traders and speculators,
and finally books that I call war stories - insider's tales about the
world of finance. The lists are sorted by the author's last name
within each section.

Each one has a link to Amazon where you might like to check out the
summaries and reviews contributed by readers. Some of these books are
out of print. Don't let that stop you, because you can usually buy a
used copy at Amazon pretty easily.

Featured Author for Beginners: Eric Tyson

Here are three books by Eric Tyson that are part of the "..for
Dummies" series. Readers praise his writing for its practical advice,
objectivity, and gentle humor. These books offer a great way to start
learning about personal finance and investing. Amazon sells these
titles for about $20 each including the shipping charges.

Analysis, Commentary, and War Stories

These books offer analysis, commentary, and war stories from finance
insiders about the trading and investment world. They probably won't
help you pick stocks, but they're fun to read if you're interested in
finance and markets.

If you can't find what you're looking for on Amazon.Com, you might
check out The Trader's Library of Columbia, MD. They maintain a web
site that has over 600 investment titles.
